The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints

Skudafn Temple (first area)

  • 1 of 5: Go down either of the two passages that lead north from the entry area, watching for traps and fighting draugr as they appear.
  • 2 of 5: In the next room, several draugr will come out of their coffins to assault you.
  • 3 of 5: Move past the gate until you come to a room with a few draugr in it, then start hacking your way through webs and frostbite spiders.
  • 4 of 5: Past some doors is another room with draugr in it, plus a raised bridge that you'll need to lower.
  • 5 of 5: Past the bridge is a door that leads to the second section of the temple.
